Although Mary's age in the 1850 census would place her birth in 1799
or 1800, such a birth year would give her an age of 11 or 12 when she conceived
a child with Moses TAYLOR, and she likely had one prior child. In
the mid-19th Century, the average age of menarche in women was 16 to 17
(by the mid-20th Century, it had fallen to 13, and it's currently age 11
to 12 — the decrease being attributed primarily to increased nutrition).
If we assume Mary was 16 when she conceived her first child, this places
her probable birth year at around 1793. This year would be consistent
with her age class in the 1830 and 1840 censuses, which places her birth
between 1790 and 1800; and most women of that era were fibbing about their
age by the time they were 40, which would explain her age of only 50 in
the 1850 census.

Early to 1850. Liahona Research, Orem, UT (Broderbund CD-229):
Two of Mary's brothers married in Caswell Co., NC, in the 1820s, but had
moved on by the 1830 census.

2. 1820 Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com):
can't find. There are no FUQUA's, at all, indexed in Cas

Given the age of her first known child, Mary is almost certainly fibbing
about her age. Some allege that John is Mary's brother, not her son,
but if so, we would expect him to be listed either first (as head of household)
or last, after Mary's children. Augustine and Pinckney are Frances's
children. The DUNIVANT boys are likely also grandchildren.

See especially the "Caswell County Family Tree" by the Caswell County Historical
Association. Notes in that file include these two bastardy bonds
from Caswell Co., NC:
